The Society of the Soon to be Well-Read

Book of the Month

This month we're reading Harry Potter and the Pisoner of Azkaban. (No discussing how the book ends until the June 25th meeting!)

Discussion Questions

(Create and link these questions to a page where they can be discussed)

Question 1

1. Do you think that JK Rowlings's portrayal of Harry as a non-muggle raised by muggles and his difficulty with assimilation could, in fact, be interpreted as a questioning of the current immigration laws and statutes held by first world countries towards those deemed to be "other" ?

Question 2

2. Do you think Hogwarts should stress a more theoretical approach to eduaction or continue with its dangerous hands-on methods? Would you let your children be educated there?

Question 3

3. Was it too long? or not long enough?

Next Meeting Details
